"You …" Shentu Gong and the other two were rendered speechless by Emperor Qing's insult. At the moment, they hated Emperor Qing to the core. They wished they could eat Emperor Qing alive to vent their anger.
Naturally, Emperor Qing did not believe that he could infuriate three emperors to death. He just wanted to put down the arrogance of the Divinity. That was all. He was ready to fight to the death.
As the emperor of the Central Imperial Universe, Emperor Qing had the responsibility and obligation to protect the Central Imperial Universe. He would not flinch even if he had to die, even if the Central Imperial Universe would be destroyed by the Divinity. He must fight on the frontline.
Even though he could hear Shentu Gong and the other two, Emperor Qing could not see them. The passageway could stop him from exploring the Divinity, which was something that worried Emperor Qing.
Know thyself and thy enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Emperor Qing only gained some confidence about the Divinity from the conversation between Shentu Gong and the other two. It was not a complete picture. How could he know thyself and thy enemy, and he would never be defeated?
"Pathetic! I will let you gloat for a while. When the passageway is fully opened, it will be your doom. Hmm! "Shentu Gong said nothing more after that.
"That's right, heh heh …" Gongxi Ci and Tuoba Arc both laughed coldly. Then, they stopped speaking as well. It was because they knew that if they said anything, they would only be humiliating themselves. They did not have Qing Di's calm temperament.
Time passed by one day after another.
A day in the outside world was equivalent to a hundred days in the small world that Xiao Chen was in. Indeed, not only had time been accelerated in the Great Formation of Chaos, but the other spaces in the small world had also been accelerated by a hundred times.
When Xiao Haotian and the other three started to cultivate, they noticed that time was accelerated as well. After the initial shock, they were overjoyed. They began to cultivate or study the natural laws.
Xiao Haotian was still the most powerful among the Semi-Emperors. It would be difficult for him to progress further. Any further and he would be at the Great Emperor Realm. Therefore, his main focus was to study the natural laws, and from there, he would be able to reach the ultimate goal of becoming a Great Emperor.
Zhangsun Wutian, Xuanyuan Hongtian, and Xiao Dahai were not Quasi-emperors yet, so their primary goal was to become Quasi-emperors. Becoming a Great Emperor was still far away, as could be seen from Xiao Haotian's long cultivation experience.
There were countless Quasi-emperors in history, but the number of Great Emperors could be counted on one hand. It was not too difficult to become a Quasi-emperor, but it was too difficult to become a Great Emperor. It was already pretty good if a Great Emperor appeared every hundred thousand years.
In the blink of an eye, fifty days had passed. Including the previous ten days, it had been two months since the Azure Thearch had appeared.
During the past two months, Emperor Qing didn't come across any other emperors of the Central Imperial Universe. Emperor Qing felt helpless. His instinct told him that there must be other emperors in the Central Imperial Universe. But there was nothing he could do if the other emperors didn't show up.
Two months in the outside world was equivalent to two hundred months in the small world that Xiao Chen lived in. If converted to adulthood, it would be more than sixteen years.
In the first three years, Xiao Chen's cultivation had increased by two levels, reaching the sixth level of the Heaven God Realm. In the last thirteen years, his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Heaven God Realm, almost becoming a Great Emperor.
It had only been two months in the outside world, but Xiao Chen had reached the peak of the ninth Celestial God Realm from the fourth Celestial God Realm. This was a speed that could scare other warriors to death.
Xiao Chen had been cultivating in the time-accelerated space for more than sixteen years. Becoming a Celestial God Realm warrior in sixteen years to reach the fifth Celestial God Realm was a speed that could stun other warriors.
Xiao Chen's talent in cultivation was terrifying!
He had achieved this under the circumstance that he was under the attack of Ghost Noise. If he was fully focused, would his cultivation speed be faster? How much?
As a matter of fact, Xiao Chen's cultivation speed was not that fast before. It was mainly because he was in the state of merging with his beast and his soul was constantly being strengthened.
The cultivation of the Celestial God Realm didn't just depend on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and converting it into Celestial God Energy. It also depended on one's understanding of the Heavenly Way. The soul was the foundation of understanding the Heavenly Way.
After being tempered by the Ghost Noise for sixteen years, Xiao Chen's soul had become much stronger. It was a few times stronger than the soul of an ordinary Celestial God Realm expert. With such a strong soul, it was naturally easier for him to understand the Heavenly Way.
Understanding the Heavenly Way would directly affect a warrior's cultivation. On the other hand, the strength of the soul would directly affect a warrior's state of mind. The state of mind was not a realm of strength, but a warrior's understanding of the Heavenly Way and mental attitude.
For example, Qing Di's state of mind was higher and broader than a Celestial God Realm expert's state of mind. Even if his cultivation was also at the Celestial God Realm, he was still much stronger than the original Celestial God Realm expert. This was the benefit of having a high state of mind.
Now that Xiao Chen's soul had become stronger, his state of mind had naturally improved. Hence, his understanding of the Heavenly Way had become deeper and broader.
In the future, when he faced an enemy of the same cultivation level, even if he didn't use those great divine abilities like the Nirvana Fist, he could rely on his understanding of the Heavenly Way to unleash an extremely strong combat strength and defeat his enemy easily.
A strong soul and improved state of mind had led to one thing: Xiao Chen's ability to resist the Ghost Noise had greatly increased. At this moment, he no longer felt any particular pain. He could easily resist the Ghost Noise's attack.
However, Xiao Chen had endured the Ghost Noise's attack for more than ten years. It was equivalent to suffering for more than ten years. This kind of endurance and willpower was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Xiao Chen didn't stop cultivating. He wanted to take this opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, or even the Great Emperor Realm.
Ambition!
If a warrior didn't have ambition, then he wouldn't have any pursuits. Hence, it would be difficult for him to achieve higher achievements in the Heavenly Way.
In the past, Xiao Chen didn't have any ambition before he left the Great Wilderness. However, after experiencing too many hardships and life and death situations, his ambition sprouted. He needed to be stronger. It would be best if he had the strength of a ruler.
Only when he had the strength to rule the world, would he be able to protect himself and his loved ones. Otherwise, he would encounter an enemy he couldn't defeat.
However, due to the appearance of the world passage, even if he became a Great Emperor, he wouldn't be able to rule the world. Hence, Xiao Chen needed more strength. Becoming a Great Emperor was his main goal.
Without the strength of a Great Emperor, even if he had the strength of a Quasi-Emperor, he wouldn't be a match for the experts of the Divine World. This was the most direct reason why Xiao Chen needed the strength of a Great Emperor.
Break through to the Great Emperor Realm!
At this moment, Xiao Chen was trying to break through to the Great Emperor Realm. The strength of a Quasi-Emperor wasn't considered a realm. It was the bottleneck between the Heavenly God Realm and the Great Emperor Realm.
A Quasi-Emperor might sound awesome, but in fact, it wasn't worthy of being called an Emperor. A true Emperor wouldn't be stuck in the bottleneck between the Heavenly God Realm and the Great Emperor Realm. They would break through from the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly God Realm to the Great Emperor Realm.
Could Xiao Chen break through from the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly God Realm to the Great Emperor Realm?
If he could, then he would be born to be a Great Emperor. If not, then it would be difficult for him to become a Great Emperor in this lifetime. He might stop at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Xiao Chen wanted to break through to the Great Emperor Realm in one fell swoop. However, the reality might not allow it. The passageway outside was almost completely open. Powerful warriors from the Divinity were about to invade the Central Imperial Universe.
Once the Divinity warriors entered the Land of Darkness through the passageway, a full-scale battle between the Great Emperors would break out. By then, the ancient city would suffer a devastating blow. Not even Emperor Qing could protect the city.
Xiao Haotian, Xiao Dahai, Xuanyuan Hongtian, and Zhangsun Wutian had stopped cultivating.
Xiao Haotian didn't succeed in becoming a Great Emperor. He felt helpless. He began to wonder if he was made to be a Great Emperor.
He felt he was very close to the Great Emperor Realm. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through this mysterious and ethereal barrier. Without breaking through this barrier, he couldn't become a Great Emperor.
Theoretically speaking, those who had awakened their Martial Spirits should be gifted in cultivation. Compared to others, they would have an advantage. However, the reality was cruel. Xiao Haotian had not succeeded for hundreds of years.
This was a heavy blow. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Haotian had a strong mind, he would have given up on the ultimate dream of becoming a Great Emperor.
Xiao Haotian, who had lived for a thousand years, had a profound understanding of natural laws, even more so than Xiao Chen. However, he didn't know how to become a Great Emperor. Without the guidance of a Great Emperor, he had to explore and study on his own.
He tried and failed. Xiao Haotian couldn't tell how many times he had tried and failed. His confidence and drive were almost worn out.
How difficult it was to become a Great Emperor!
Xiao Haotian had been trying to become a Great Emperor for more than a decade in a space where time was sped up a hundred times faster. He had stopped at the Quasi-Emperor Realm. It was not hard to imagine how difficult it was to become a Great Emperor.
